BTS Hit 4 Million Followers On The Last Day Of 2016

2016 was a year full of triumphs for BTS and, on the last day of the year, the incredibly popular male group hit this incredible milestone.

BTS sent 2016 off with a bang, officially hitting 4 million followers on Twitter on December 31st. The group first joined Twitter in 2011. Since then, the members have been actively making use of the social media platform to reach out to its fans. They’ve been using Twitter in a variety of different ways. Here are just some ways they keep in touch with fans:

1. #RMusic

The members of BTS have spoiled fans with covers of hit songs time and time again. V’s soulful voice in his Christmas cover was a real treat!

Even though Suga had been at home resting due to an injury during the 2016 KBS Gayo Daechukje, he took pictures of his fellow band members on stage at the most unflattering of angles!
